I have upgraded to Workstation 9 and was capable to run my Fedora 64-bit without any issue. Another day I attempted to begin it again and I got an error message which you can see in the attached image. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this? Please let me know

The error is because the service does not have administrative rights.
To resolve this error follow the steps mentioned below:
1) Login to the Windows operating system as an Administrator
